CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi, Ive done some searching and I cant quite figure out why my site is running slow. Not quite sure what im doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

Hosting company says its probobly my code. But I cant seem to find anything wrong with it. Not really liking my hosting company right now anyway (godaddy)

btw I searched and tried to do some of the changes others have done but none of that has seemed to work for me.

Thanks in advance.

Matt

btw I hope this is in the right catagory. Wasnt sure if this is where it belongs and im new here.

I think it's because you use goduddy and are on a shared host...

That is a question. Why is the site running slow? What other information would make this easy to diagnose?

They mentioned this. Also mentioned id be better of a "grid type" hosting. Not sure I even want to stick with them thou. Any recommendations on a good hosting company? Is there anything I should check before switching hosting companies?

The more info would be your system info page information, a better host imho is hostgator...

Heres the info from "system info":

Well other then the strange permissions, 705, 505, it all looks good to me, I would think it's the host/shared server at this point...

From years.. and sadly many 100's of hours dealing with Godaddy, I can say this for sure 100%... it's godaddy, they overload, and the db are sometimes not even in the same state.  So that is the issue... FYI I was a reseller for them and yeah... well I'm not now

Shameless plug.. I offer hosting thru rackspace.  Thou I charge a little more than Godaddy, you get a blazingly fast host.  Hit me up if you’re interested.  Cheers -Jeremy

Also FYI with godaddy it's always the code.. never them..

Alright thank you guys. I had it was them.. Im going to switch hosting companies and post my findings.

Personal recommendation: 1and1 US. There's also Dreamhost and the like. How do you find out what is a good host? I've posted this several times before (search!), but call them on their tech support and see how long it takes them to answer and whether they can answer technical questions. SSH is recommended.

Shared hosting on 1&1 is not any better then godaddy, I know I've used both and at some point in time you will see your site slow to a crawl...

Haven't had experience with a large website on 1and1, but I did like the fast and knowledgeable phone tech support.

Also, 1and1 DOES NOT use cPanel.

It is definitely better than godaddy, dynonames, etc. But I AM planning on switching to VPS when I add a third site to same server - I have already ran into memory limits with 2 CMSMS installs each asking for 32M of memory. Some modules have failed to install.

shared hosting on goaddy is not a good place for php/mysql apps...

and all those worthless keyword-stuffed extra pages that duplicate 99.9% of same page over and over again ain't helping any. with the server as loaded down as it is already, all it would take is ONE bad bot sucking-down a page per second off that site to bring the whole server to its knees.

now, if it were a normal site without that crap, it'd only have a few pages total; and those pages would require significantly less horsepower to generate.... meaning you could probably get by with the current server...  provided no one else on it is hogging server resources
